This invention relates to improvements in eyeglass-fittin gs especially adapted for use on proved means ofs'ecuringthe spring and nose-- strain that may be placed on the different parts. l-leretofore'the nose-guard and spring objection to this construction is the loosening of the screw when submitted to a strain I have endeavored to overcome this obj ection, and 111 my present construction I dispense The invention is fully described in the following specification and clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 'in which- Figure 1- is a front view, of a portion of an eyeglass, showing my new construction.

The armsa are then clenched'around the under-side of thehead b and on each side'of the post 1), embracing the nose-guard and spring, thus causing the; shank of the post to stand within the bifurcation,which will prevent'the cap from slipping up or'down, thereby making a rigid fitting securely fastened without 5? The invention is simple and-elfective, and the product is neat in appearance.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, an d desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s.
